How do i print to acrobat distiller from illustrator

i just installed acrobat so that i can print my illustrator, etc files to PDF instead of "Save as PDF" so that they will be small, email-able files. All installed fine, but when I go to the print menu in Illustrator there is no Acrobat Distiller option or even Adobe PDF - when I try to install a new printer in the control panel there is not option to pick Acrobat Distiller. Help please! I feel like there is an obvious solution that I am missing!

Printing to PDF is not recommended as mentioned. However, you should be able to print to pdf in other applications and even in Illustrator if you try hard enough. What OS are you using? What version of Acrobat?
As to mailing pdf files, if they are too big, you should put them on a website and mail a link to the pdf. Adobe has a cloud offering. So does Dropbox, Box, Microsoft One Drive, etc. The list goes on. There are even services dedicated to sending files to people via links. The links can even have expiration dates.

    Well those listed files you had were of no help. I did some more searching in an system I had and found the downloaded file Acro5.0.5.exe.
    I searched for instances of the word Adobe and deleted them including folders. Also cleaned the registry as well then reinstalled the software from the afore mentioned file. Then re-registered the program. Now everthing is working fine, The Acrobat Distiller Printer is now shown in Printers and Faxes Control Panel.
    I did some file conversions to PDF and the distiller is now listed as a printer source in the Print Menu of the file I am converting.
    Thank for your help.

    Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
    I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
    The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!

    The Print button (described in the Adobe Reader Help file) prints to AirPrint printers. Here's a list:

    Otherwise, you can pay for an app like PrinterPro from Readdle if your printer is not AirPrint-enabled.

  • How do you print your purchase history from itunes?????

    how do you print your purchase history from itunes???  why is the "print" function grayed out????  so frustrating

    There is no way to print the Purchase History as a list. You'll have to do a screen capture instead and print that. If you have purchases that span across multiple panes in the Purchase History, you'll have to do a screen capture of each. Of you can print the receipts that should have been emailed to you.

  • How to preserve and keep 2 Pantones from Illustrator, via Photoshop, to InDesign?

    Ciao!
    I have designed a 3D illustration in Illustrator (version 15.0.2), this illustration need to be printed for a magazine cover and I want to use 2 pantone colours for it.
    The 2 pantone colours are assigned form the Swatch Palette.
    The image is in CMYK (file > document colour mode > CMYK).
    The illustration is in 3D and the text has been convereted in outline. But I have not expanded the appareance of any element.
    I want to add more depht to the illustration and Photoshop seems the best solution for shadows and visually looks better.
    Plus InDesign can manage Photoshops files with Effects very nicely.
    [I find difficult and problematic to import Illustrators files with added Effects in InDesign, it leaves always a white background around the image and I don't know how to get rid of that.]
    How do I import the image in Photoshop (version 10.0.2) and keep the pantone?
    If I export/import the image as .psd format the files gest converted in CMYK automatically.
    In the Swatch Panel (next to the pantones I want to use) I see two square boxex the first has a round gray circle (I don’t know what this means), the second has 4 triangles (this I believe means CMYK).
    In the Separation Preview panel (if I click Overprint Preview) I have listed the 4 CMYK colours and the 2 pantones but if I turn off the 5 CMYK eyes I only see the white artboard, it’s like if the pantone are not assigned.
    After adding the shadows in Photoshop I need to import the file from Photoshop to InDesign and the final file need to be transparent because there's a backround at the bottom and a box of text in between the background and the illustration.
    I could place the bacground and the text in photoshop no problem for that...
    The questions are how do I import the 3D file from Illustrator, keep the pantone and add the Photoshop shadow?
    Hope anyone can help me as I'm going to press soon...
    Please feel free to ask me anything else if need to answer the questions.
    Many many thanks in advance if you can help me.

    This first image is the file in ID with High Quality Display on
    This is with Overprint Preview and that what I aming for, roughly, for the final. [I'm not sure what is the purpose of overprint preview in ID].
    This is the 3 plates of Black and two pantones
    This is the plate of Black plate
    This is the Pantone 812 c plate
    and finally this is the Pantone 8201 c plate

  • How to specify version of Acrobat Distiller?

    I am using FM9. I click File > Save as PDF and I get the message "To execute Save as PDF command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed". I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, which includes Distiller. How can I direct FrameMaker to use this version of Distiller?

    James,
    Is your Acrobat product installed somewhere else besides the default C:\Program Files\Adobe... etc. path? I've had issues with FM being finicky with older installations of Acrobat. Sometimes running the Repair (under the Help menu) option in Acrobat fixes this, other times a re-install. In some cases, spelunking in the Registry to clean out detritus from old Acrobat installations did the trick. The Adobe installers/uninstallers do a less than stellar job of configuring the products properly.
    Another thing to check is, did you install the PDF Creator option that came with FM9? If so, this would have mangled the older Distiller from Acrobat 7? I'm also assuming that this is the stand-alone FM9 and not part of the TechComm Suite.

  • How do I get the Acrobat Distiller back?

    Using FM10. Have to create a PDF file only occasionally. Always used the plug-in that came with FrameMaker. We decided to download the trial version of Acrobat X. Used it for awhile but didn't see any great advantages to buying it. For the work we're doing, the Save as PDF feature in FrameMaker worked just fine. So I deleted Acrobat X. Now the distiller is gone as well. I can no longer Save as PDF in FrameMaker. When I try, I get the error message, "To execute 'Save as PDF' command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."
    How do I get the distiller back?
    We purchased and downloaded FrameMaker on-line so I have no CD.

    Saving such files is good advice. As it turns out, I did save the download files at home. So that part is no longer an issue. Right now, the inability to create a pdf file is still the issue. I've made no progress there.
    To summarize, here is the sequence of events so far:
    - Deleted the trial version of Acrobat X Pro.
    - Found that the Distiller was no longer there.
    - On the advice of Dov Isaacs, above, re-installed FM10 from the original downloaded install files.
    - Still unable to 'Save as PDF." A tps file is created.
    - Re-installed FM10 once again, this time ensuring that the 'Install Adobe PDF Creation Add On X' was checked to install.
    - After the install, double checked in the Control Panel to see that the add-on was installed.
    - Still unable to create a PDF. FM goes through the gyrations and it does create a tps file, but somehow can't bring up the distiller to complete the process.
    I have triple checked all of the settings and they are the same as I've always used. I'm thinking that there's some remnant of Acrobat left over that Frame is looking at and getting no response from. Maybe something in the Windows Registry. Oh my! Perish that thought! Might I next have to completely delete everthing associated with Adobe and start completely from scratch?

  • How can i print data in smartforms from ABAP program.

    Dear gurus:
    in my abap program i process require data, and saved in a internal table.
    how can l print the data in smartforms.?
    who can give me a code sample is better:)
    reward all helpful advise.

    Try this....
    1) Tcode --> SmartForms
    2) Form name --> Z_SF_TEST Create
    3) Under Global settings
    a) Form Interface  
        Table Tab
       ITAB LIKE EKPO
    b) GLOBAL Definitions
    WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
    In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We can't directly display currency field and quantity fields
    For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
    Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
    CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
    4) RT CLick on main Window
       CREATE --> TABLE
      Click Table painter
    DEFAULT %LTYPE will be Created
    a) If you want more like Header footer etc add by rt click on %LTYPE1
    Table (Tab)
    %LTYPE  Radio(SELECT) 5 CM 5 CM 6 CM
    CLICK on DATA (Tab)
    INTERNAL TABLE ITAB LIKE ITAB
    5)RT click on table control and create --> program lines
    General attribute (Tab)
    INPUT PARAMETER               OUTPUT PARAMETER
    itab                               WA_NETPR
    Code Area
    WA_NETWR = ITAB-NETPR.
    6) RT CLcick on table ctl and create 3 text to display the fields
    a) % text1 +button(insert field)
       FIELD name &itab-ebeln&
    Output options (tab)
    Check New line   LINETYPE   %Ltype1
    check new cell
    b) % text2
       & itab-ebelp&
    output options
    check new cell
    c) % text2
       & wa_netpr&
    output options
    check new cell
    <b>Report ac
    Tables ekpo.
    Data: itab1 like ekpo occurs 0 with header line.
    select * into table itab1 from ekpo.
    Call function module --> smart form function module and pass your internal table</b>
